Despite the mixed feelings in his heart and strong opinions, Gong Juechen didn't show any of it. Instead, he, along with Ye Zhi and Gong Juese, bowed and thanked for the imperial favor.
Su Chengyu also didn't want to not appoint Ye Zhi as a general, but the relationship between Ye Zhi and Gong Juechen made him uneasy. After much consideration, he decided not to appoint Ye Zhi as a general.
However, he felt indebted to Ye Zhi for her contributions to Xiyun, so he tried to make amends as much as possible by rewarding Ye Zhi with many items of gold and silver.
After the distribution of merits and rewards was completed, Su Chengyu mentioned that there would be a grand celebration banquet in the evening, and then he dismissed the court.
As soon as they left the Assembly Hall, Xiao Changyi, An Jing, Su Chengyu, Su Chengyuan, and other members of the royal family, carrying the head of the Emperor of Chilin, went to the imperial mausoleum to honor Su Haoyu.
